Heidi Flohr has been a passionate advocate and dedicated practitioner for dyslexic students for almost 30 years. She is a licensed CALP (Certified Academic Language Practitioner). Through her ICALP (Instructor-Certified Academic Language Practitioner) license, she continually trains other teachers in Structured Literacy so that more students can receive appropriate dyslexia interventions within the Canton City School District.

Heidi tirelessly serves as a coach and mentor for them as they serve our students, but she also continues to hone her practice by intervening with her students. It is not uncommon for Heidi to become an advocate and interventionist for students as they move through grade bands and buildings, a unique strength within a large urban school district. Her commitment to providing instruction so that ALL students can read inspires our students, teachers, and administrators.
